Located on the southeast coast of China, in the South China Sea, is the island of Hong Kong. This bustling metropolis is a both a thriving business hub and a wonderful place to vacation when seeking the thrill of cultural experience. EscapeWizard.com invites you to book your Hong Kong adventure with us!
Flying into Hong Kong is both efficient and enjoyable thanks to the state-of-the-art Hong Kong International Airport (HKG). This modern airport has received numerous awards for its comprehensive design and array of traveler services and facilities, even offering ferries to Mainland China in addition to direct access to taxi, bus and train transportation. You can book your flight to HKG with EscapeWizard.com by clicking (www.escapewizard.com/flight.php) to take advantage of our great low rates on airfare. We can help with your hotel needs, too. Just click (www.escapewizard.com/hotels.php?flag=htl) to browse available accommodations in Hong Kong.
Hong Kong is delightful blend of well-planned urban development, scenic landscapes and ample green space throughout the island. With a history as rich as the island itself, EscapeWizard.com encourages you to visit some of Hong Kong’s many heritage sites to learn more about this fascinating place. You can start by touring some of the more than 600 temples around the island, each showcasing authentic culture and brilliant architecture. Some of these temples include: Chi Lin Nunnery and Nan Lian Garden, Lo Pan Temple, Sha Tin Che Kung Temple, Hung Shing Temple, and Che Kung Temple, just to name a handful.
You’ll also want to be sure and visit Hong Kong’s diverse offering of museums. Major collections include the Hong Kong Heritage Museum, Hong Kong Museum of Art, Hong Kong Museum of History, and the Hong Kong Science Museum. EscapeWizard.com notes that there is also a wide selection of special interest museums for your enjoyment, such as the Hong Kong Space Museum, Maritime Museum, Film Archive, Cultural Center, and Correctional Services Museum, among many others.
Perhaps the most memorable faucet of Hong Kong is Victoria Harbour. This gorgeous harbour yields stunning views of the city, especially at night, and attracts visitors from around the world. You’ll surely want to catch “A Symphony of Lights,” a stunning multimedia show with lights and lasers, incorporating more than 40 skyscrapers around Victoria Harbour. Boarding a nighttime cruise to view this symphony from the water is an even more amazing experience. EscapeWizard.com also urges you not to miss the views from The Peak, another highly popular Hong Kong attraction. You’ll scale The Peak via Peak Tram, which climbs about 1,200 feet for a truly spectacular birds-eye view of the city below.
To mingle with the locals and enjoy the pleasures of shopping and dining, head to the Lan Kwai Fong and SoHo districts. Lan Kwai Fong hosts a variety of clubs, restaurants and bars, making it an ideal spot to enjoy the Hong Kong nightlife. SoHo is along the famous Hollywood Road and offers an array of international restaurants, and the particularly unique Guinness World Records certified longest covered escalator in the world. EscapeWizard.com assures you that wonderful shopping can be found all around downtown Hong Kong, from the trendiest fashions to local collectibles.
Finally, no trip to Hong Kong would be complete without visiting the iconic giant Buddha. This bronze statue is the world’s tallest, sitting atop the Ngong Ping plateau on nearby Lantau Island, and took more than ten years to complete. Bring comfortable shoes if you plan to get up close and personal with the Buddha, as you’ll be climbing 268 steps to reach the top of the plateau. Be sure to explore the rest of the Po Lin Monastery while you’re there, as much can be explored amidst the beautiful mountains in which the grounds are located.
With far more to see and do than we can possibly explain here, a trip to Hong Kong is an absolute must for any travel enthusiast. Book your vacation to one of the most vibrant islands on Earth with EscapeWizard.com and experience the culture and heritage for yourself!
